Im using colladamaya 0.9.5.517. When I export a skinned mesh from maya 2009, only the joints exported but the mesh is displayed as an empty node. Perhaps I’m not exporting it correctly? I have ticked both polygon meshes and joints and skin. any help is much appreciated.
I understand this version has problems with skinned meshes.
There should be an update soon.
In the mean time you may want to use the 1.4.1 collada maya plugins (feeling)
